Support me, so I can be saved and always pay attention to your instructions.
118 Wewe huwakataa wale wote wapoteao mbali na sheria zako, maana watu hao ni wadanganyifu na si wakuaminika.
You reject all those who don't follow your instructions—they're fooling themselves by living a lie.

My whole being is crying out! Lord, please answer me! I will follow your instructions.
146 Ninakuita wewe; uniokoe, nami nitazitii amri za agano lako.”
I pray to you, asking, “Please save me!” so I can do what you say.
147 NInaamka asubuhi kabla jua halijachomoza na kulia kwa ajili ya msaada.
I get up before dawn, and call out to you for help and put my hope in your word.
148 Ninatumaini katika maneno yako. Macho yangu yako wazi usiku kucha ili niweze kutafakari juu ya neno lako.

Lord, your mercy is so great! Because you are always fair, please let me live!
157 Watesi wangu na adui zangu ni wengi, lakini bado sijaenda mbali na amri za agano lako.
Despite the many people who persecute and mistreat me, I have not strayed from your laws.
158 Nimewaona wasaliti wakitia kinyaa kwa sababu hawalishiki neno lako.
Watching these unfaithful people disgusts me because they take no notice of your word.

I keep your commandments and laws because you see everything I do. Taw
169 Sikia kilio changu, Yahwe; unipe uelewa wa neno lako.
Lord, please listen to my sad cry; help me to understand, as you promised.
170 Maombi yangu yaje mbele zako; unisaidie, kama ulivyoahidi katika neno lako.
Please hear what I have to say to you, and save me, as you promised.
171 Midomo yangu na imwage sifa, maana wewe unanifundisha sheria zako.
Let me pour out my words of praise, for you teach me what to do.
172 Ulimi wangu na uimbe kuhusu neno lako, maana amri zako zote ni za haki.

Please be ready to help me, for I have chosen to follow your instructions.
174 Ninautamani wokovu wako, Yahwe, na sheria yako ni furaha yangu.
I long for your salvation, Lord; your teachings make me happy.
175 Naomba niishi na nikusifu wewe, na amri zako za haki zinisaidie.
May I live my life in praise to you, and may your instructions help me.
176 Nimetanga-tanga kama kondoo aliyepotea; mtafute mtumishi wako, kwa maana sijazisahau amri zako.
I have wandered away like a lost sheep, so please come looking for me, for I have not forgotten your commandments.
